RE: The tariff classification of a tote bag from China
Dear Ms. Wu:
In your letter dated March 12, 2015 you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted a sample, which we are returning to you.
Item number 2400108 is a tote bag constructed with an outer surface of cotton textile material. The textile is not of a pile or tufted construction. The textile has a coating on the lower 1/3 of the bag. The essential character of the tote bag is imparted by the textile material, General Rule of Interpretation 3(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) noted. The tote bag is designed to provide storage, protection, organization, and portability to personal effects during travel. The bag features an open top, two carrying handles, and an adjustable, removable shoulder strap. It measures approximately 15” (W) x 14” (H) x 5.25” (D).
The applicable subheading for item number 2400108 will be 4202.92.1500, HTSUS, which provides for travel, sports, and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, of vegetable fibers and not of pile or tufted construction, of cotton. The rate of duty will be 6.3% ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Vikki Lazaro at [email protected].
